Valley Gospel
A Pentecostal church experience.
Valley Gospel
They Were Scattered
A profound revelation struck Pastor Bob as he rescued small fish fallen between rocks in his backyard pond. "These minnows represent those left behind," God spoke audibly, "some wounded, some crippled, some stuck between rocks, unable to return to safety on their own. I want you to get them back."
From this unexpected encounter emerged the heart of Valley Gospel Church's mission: reaching those who've fallen through the cracks of traditional church structures - wounded believers, disillusioned seekers, and souls trapped between spiritual rocks, unable to find their way back to faith alone.
Drawing from Ezekiel 34, Pastor Bob explores God's passionate promise to seek His scattered sheep when earthly shepherds fail them. The message confronts a critical misconception - that people must "get right" before approaching Christ. "Come to Jesus first," he urges. "He'll help you. I don't care where you are or where you've been."
This counter-cultural approach mirrors Jesus' own ministry, reaching angry men, streetwalkers, confused believers, and the demon-possessed alike. The church isn't called to judge but to restore - creating sanctuary for all, regardless of what holds them captive.
Like John Wesley, who declared "the world is my parish" when rejected by established religion, we're challenged to reach beyond comfortable boundaries. God chooses ordinary people - freckle-faced teenagers like David, students like Wesley, or simple fishermen like the disciples - and empowers them to transform lives and nations.
Are your footsteps aligned with this divine rescue mission? God is moving today through willing vessels to rebuild, resurrect, restore, and redeem His scattered children. Will you join the search party for those precious souls stuck between the rocks?
But not because of you, but because he is good and you will not have room to receive Him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Woo, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Hello, welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, pennsylvania. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world. So let's go into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.
Speaker 3:You know, I shared with you a little bit a couple of weeks ago, a month ago. A couple of weeks ago, a month ago, about the day before we opened the doors in Harmerville, april 1st 2006. And I shared with you a snippet and maybe you think, well, I didn't quite understand. I just want to maybe make things a little more clear. I was pondering at the time what I was getting into the direction that God was ordaining, the steps that he was ordering not only in my life but in the realm of the church. And it was a Saturday morning, it was. We were opening that evening, actually with a Get Acquainted concert to introduce ourselves. And although I was prayed up and prepared, I was a little bit nervous. I didn't know what to expect and I confess I even asked myself what are you doing? What are you getting into here? And God had directed me that this ministry would be anointed for one service in particular. But what? Some yard work around the house. And and most of you know that you know we in our business, we've done in the past a whole lot of water features and backyard ponds and waterfalls. And in order to sell those water features, now I have six myself that are really a lot of work, aren't they, john? And busying myself prior to the service, I was cleaning out the skimmer nets in the filters and normally it has leaves and junk and tadpoles and a whole lot of things. But when I emptied it on the rocks, a whole bunch of little fish fell out Little goldfish, little koi. All fell out onto the rocks and as I raced to try to get them back into the pond, back into the water, some fell in cracks and crevices and time was running short. It was, you know, it was a pretty warm day, but I needed to get them back where they could continue to thrive and live. And as I did and this is the supernatural part God spoke to me, and he spoke to me audibly. Now, I don't know if, had you been sitting at the pond, whether you would have heard the voice or not. I don't know, but I heard it. I heard it with my ears, not with my heart, not with my spirit. I heard it with my ears, not with my heart, not with my spirit. I heard the voice and I heard him say these minnows, these little fish, represent the ones that were left behind, those that knew me but have turned from me. Some have been wounded, some have been hurt or crippled, some are stuck. They're stuck between the rocks, Can't get back to the water by themselves and I want you to get them back. Get them back to safety, get them back to the water. Get them back to me. Pick them up one by one. Some have made it hard to reach them. Some may take some time, some might be hard to find, but don't ever stop reaching. Don't ever stop reaching. Don't ever stop reaching. Don't ever stop trying. Chrissy, let's go to work. He said. Find them all and restore them to strength and restore them to the beauty that I've given them. One of those fish was me. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 3:If you have your Bibles, turn to the book of Ezekiel Glory. Chrissy, if you have something to share, I feel free. Okay, thanks, ezekiel 34. Chrissy, if you have something to share, I feel free. Ezekiel 34. Going to have two readings in the same chapter here Ezekiel 34 and 5, 5 and 6, and then 13 and 14. No 14 through 16. Whenever you get there, would you please stand for the reading?
Speaker 2:of God's word, and they were scattered because there is no shepherd, and they became meat to all the beasts of the field. When they were scattered, my sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill, yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth and none did search or seek after them. 14. I will feed my flock, I will cause them to lie down. Saith the Lord God. I will seek that which is lost and bring again that which was driven away, and I will bind up that which was broken and I will strengthen that which is sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them with judgment.
Speaker 3:Wow, now look, god is speaking to four wayward kings in Israel, four ungodly kings of northern Israel Joachin Joachin, jehoaz and Zedekiah. Those are the four kings he's actually talking to, but there is a wealth of hidden information for a modern-day Christian today, and I'll use for a subject. And they were scattered. Let's pray, heavenly Father. Thank you, lord, thank you for this Old Testament truth delivered to a New Testament church. I'm just thrilled, lord, that you have allowed me to be a part of this great work. Lord, I ask you to anoint your word, anoint those that hear it. Let your word be a lamp and a light. It is in the name of your precious August, soon coming son. We pray, Amen and amen. Please be seated. Pray, amen and amen, please be seated.
Speaker 3:One of the first questions in the Bible, maybe the first question in the Bible, is found in Genesis 4 and 9. And it's God said to Cain where's Abel, where's your brother? And he replied I don't know. Am I his keeper? Wow, getting smart with the Lord, getting sassy. I don't know. Cain is Adam and Eve's son, abel's brother. He wants to know if he has an obligation, if he has a moral obligation toward others. And God's answer was and is that we do have an obligation, that we have an unction from god to reach out to brothers and sisters in need, to reach out to anyone needing to meet jesus christ. That is our obligation to know the lord, to be empowered by god's spirit just quickly, still in ezekiel. I just want to by God's spirit Just quickly, still in Ezekiel. I just wanna show you this, ezekiel 22. You probably all know this very well 22 and 30. And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land. It's so important as we seek God's will for our lives and in our walk, our effort to serve him, that godly unity, in other words being one in the spirit, is a godly principle. As Jesus said, the father and I are one, he said. Nor does it even desire uniformity. In other words, god's kingdom doesn't want us to all be the same. He's not looking for a collection of robots who say all the same mantra, repeat all the religious words. God is seeking men and women with a variety of skills, talents, personalities, style, to reach out to those that have different styles, personalities and talents, styles, personalities and talents.
Speaker 3:Look, our God, our Lord Jesus dealt with and delivered the gospel to angry men, to streetwalkers, to proud politicians, to victims of demon possession. He delivered the gospel to disheartened believers, to disenchanted unbelievers, to confused, to lost, to belittled people, those that didn't fit in, those that used all those terms, john, all those ugly terms that, since we've come to Christ, we realize but we threw around like candy. Jesus meets you where you are, not necessarily where you should be, not necessarily where you ought to be or even where you want to be. He meets you where you are, and his example to us is to do the same to meet the lost, to meet the lambs where they are. You see, we're not. This tabernacle is not a collection of sinners saved by grace who are doing the best we can in a lost and wicked world.
Speaker 3:If you're struggling with something today, we're not going to judge you. That's what God's called us to. We're not going to judge you. That's what God's called us to. We're not going to tell you oh, you got to get rid of that before you come in here or you're not welcome. You are welcome. I don't care what you're trapped in, you are welcome. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3:You know what I hear all the time? I've got to get right. Before I come to Christ, I've got to get some of these things and I've got to get these situated and then I'll come to God. Come to Jesus first. He'll help you. He'll help you, I don't care where you are, I don't care where you've been. Not only will the Lord help you, we will try to help you get to where you need to be One of our callings, and I'll share them all with you someday. But we will deliver a gospel of love. We'll cry with you, we'll pray with you, we'll reason together, we'll teach and try to help you to allow the Holy Ghost to guide your way, to light your path.
Speaker 3:Our calling is that when you walk in victory, when you step out and say God's dealt with me, I no longer deal with this, I no longer have this. When he does, when you walk in victory as an overcomer and a champion, we'll celebrate with you, we'll rejoice with you. Glory, we're looking for lost minnows that have fallen through the cracks, the church cracks, and we'll tell you the truth. We'll tell you the truth because that's what the gospel does. It tells us the truth. You may not like it, it may sting a little bit at times, but it'll put peace in your heart, it'll put joy back in your soul, it will deliver you. We'll stand in the streams, the ponds, the banks, amen, the rivers, the ditches, with nets unfurled Glory.
Speaker 3:We will not give up, we will not give in, we will not get discouraged when some walk away. We will never quit, hallelujah. You know, it's why I shared on Wednesday night. If you remember, when someone new comes into the church and they have a little bit of unsound doctrine or you hear a belief system that isn't quite scriptural and they like what they hear, they like what they feel, they like the worship. But I know I only have two or three weeks to give them some truth or they're going to walk away, hallelujah. Look, we all have different origins. We all have come from different backgrounds. We have different likes and different dislikes. It wasn't until 15 years ago that I finally stopped doing that, that I finally got a hold of it, so ingrained, and it takes us a little while to get rid of some of the trash.
Speaker 3:But we're unified in truth and faith are one in the spirit. Amen, a common knowledge that all things work together for good. To them that love god, to those called according to his purpose, and we're called together for a purpose, that being is to win the lost, to restore the fallen, to reach the unreachable. Not with soft, comfortable pillow sermons, but rock-solid truth. My those trapped in self-serving doctrines that make them feel good, or mired in humanism or nature-carrying Mother Earth doctrines Minnows in shallow water, you know what's going to happen to them. They're either going to die or raccoons are going to get them. That's just truth, and you all know how I feel about raccoons. They are the demon of the wildlife community. At valley gospel church, we've been called to take show you the deeper water of the cross, hallelujah. The only way this cross will come down is if I'm dead. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3:Who among you and this is a serious question who among you is being prepared by the Holy Ghost to make a difference? Who among you is being prepared by the Holy Ghost to make a difference? Who among you is being selected to bring about a change? Maybe in your community, in your family, in the nation, in the world? Who's being directed, maybe today, to tell someone about Jesus, even if you don't know him all that well yourself, to restore a fallen sister or brother, or just listen to someone? I believe you have someone in mind right now, everyone in here, someone in mind that you could share the love of Jesus with, that you might reach a minnow that's fallen through the cracks, someone fallen into unbelief, doctrines of devils, confusion of the mind, doctrines of devils, confusion of the mind. God, the Holy Ghost, is moving on you now to present a true and living gospel. That's what the gospel is. Good news, yeah, but absolute truth. In a way, maybe only you can. You know there are people in this world that only you can talk to, that only you can reach, wouldn't listen to me, wouldn't listen to someone else, but they might listen to you To bring them back, restore them to battle position. Whatever the mission, god is looking for people, just like Isaiah to say here am I send me, I got it.
Speaker 3:God's mission is people, people. That's his mission. As much as I respect and I believe we are to be good stewards of the environment, take care of the earth and nature and all that, that's not his focus. Love wildlife and respect it. Half my years at Penn State were in wildlife technology. That's what I did.
Speaker 3:I'm going to say it. That's not God's purpose. You know all the oohs and aahs over puppy dogs and kittens, yet in an elderly person or a child. No time, no time for them. We make more of a fuss over a dog being euthanized than we do over the 60 million abortions that are performed in this country. Oh, but don't touch my puppy. Amen.
Speaker 3:His purpose is, god's purpose is people, all people. I said a few months ago in a message on John 3, 16, that says God so loved the world, god so loved the world. The world, all the world. Those that are bound by drugs, god loves you. Those that are stuck in some emotional depression, god loves you, hallelujah. Those that have things that hold them captive, god loves you. I'm so lost. God loves you. That's gospel truth. God's focus is on people. His greatest focus is on the lost. To invite us to believe. To invite us to believe, come on in, come on in, and if you believe, you can receive. Receive what Joy, unspeakable mercy, victory, power, a clear mind, a pure and a contrite heart and a new life, a brand new life.
Speaker 3:God has chosen to run his ministry not through ministries, not through church boards, not through denominations, not through organizations. He has chosen to run his great enterprise through chosen men and women. You say, no, he's running it through the assembly. No, he's not running it through the assembly. He's running it through chosen men and women. The Bible bears this out, that he has chosen to run his great enterprise through men and women who hear his voice, who listen to his call, who aren't afraid to say thus saith the Lord, amen, willing to walk along the shoreline and pick up minnows and get them back in the water, glory, get them back to safety and freedom. Maybe not reaching out the same way you or I would Different, but that's okay, because they're selected by the same God, they're prepared by the same Lord, they're allowed to suffer. That's right. That's right, allowed to suffer.
Speaker 3:David Wilkerson said don't waste a good affliction. Said don't waste a good affliction. Allowed to suffer and appointed and anointed by the Holy Ghost, a promise, my given the opportunity to work for the care of the kingdom, you and I carry out that work. That's what we're called to do. Carry out that work Not because we're more or better or higher, but because, look, only a thin red line separates us from an unbeliever. Tiny, thin red line separates us from a thief from an abuser, a thief from an abuser.
Speaker 3:We were working in Oakmont a few years ago and we ran into I don't remember if they were Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses and they told Ted oh, there is no Holy Ghost. He said. You better hope there's a Holy Ghost, because it's all that stands between me, hitting you over the head and taking your purse. You better hope there's a Holy Spirit. Only that scarlet thread of redemption, the blood of a spotless lamb glory, keeps you and I from being that vilest of sinner that we once were. Amen.
Speaker 3:Justification to the righteousness of god that's what justification is changes us from a sinner to the to the righteousness of god. Glory instantly, Instantly. Only his blood, only his blood guarantees us an eternal home. It's only his blood. It's not works, it's the blood. It's the blood. See, we're switching that up in the church today. It's with good deeds, works mantras, positive affirmations. It's only the blood, only the blood. It's not preaching, it's the blood. It's not worship, it's the blood. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 3:The only time that you and I should look down on anyone is if we're reaching down to help them up. That's it. That's the only time we're able. You see, if you're saved this morning and by saved I don't mean that you repeated the sinner's prayer, I mean that you're saved and you know it that if you are, then you have been delivered from the penalty and the power of sin. Now we still have the potential to do stupid things. What did Jimmy always say? One step away from stupid. So we still have that potential, but we're still in the presence of sin, living in a fallen world. But we've been delivered from the penalty of sin. Living in a fallen world, but we've been delivered from the penalty of sin.
Speaker 3:Paul said that you and I are scarcely saved. We're barely saved. He said that about himself, so certainly it applies to us. We're barely saved, but saved, sozoed, rescued, right, sanctified, sealed, set aside. And that's a good truth, that's a biblical truth that we need to hang on to. Delivered, bought with a price, redeemed by his blood. All truth, children of the most high awaiting the return of our king, openly serving him, without fear, without favor, and he's a God that's able to keep that, what we have committed unto him. Against that day, hallelujah.
Speaker 3:At the end of the 18th century, great Britain was a cesspool of corruption, of crime, darkness, drunkenness, poverty, debauchery of every kind, and God's Spirit moved on several students at Oxford University that wanted their lives to stand for something, for holiness, and they moved deeper in the study, as you said, Paula, of God's word, going deeper in his word and their hearts burned with revival. Let's take this out. And their first idea was let's take this to the Church of England. We got a friendly ear. Right. They're the church.
Speaker 3:Problem was, the church was the bigger part of the problem. Its leaders lost their vision, lost their fire long ago and they rejected these young men and refused to allow them to minister in their churches. One of these young men was John Wesley. He refused to be discouraged, he refused to quit. He turned from the church of England and you all know what he said the world is my pulpit, I don't need the church, the world is my parish. And he set out to change hearts and minds.
Speaker 3:He went out in search of minnows, one by one, people that were disillusioned, cast down by the church, and spiritual revival swept through England, my. They had been on the verge, as a nation, of moral collapse, but they were reached by a man, a man full of the Holy Ghost and saved by a God that loved them Glory. Tens of thousands came to give their hearts to Jesus Christ and England enjoyed 100 years of prosperity. They'll tell you, it was some, you, that it was something else that caused 100 years of prosperity. But it was this Glory. That's the truth.
Speaker 3:Romans 12 and 2. And I'm slowing down here, romans 12 and 2. Be not conformed and and be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may be able to prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Right now, right now, church. Right now, god is moving on corrupt and evil ways in the world. He's moving on immorality and abortion and violence and abuse and anti-Semitism and atheism and Marxism and communism. Do you mean he's going to eradicate all those things? Didn't say that. He's moving on people that have that same ideal or thought. Well, this is okay, this is right, and they're being singled out and targeted by God individually and he's given to a man or a woman the opportunity and the ability to bring about a change.
Speaker 3:That man or a woman that God has chosen to bring about the change may or may not have experience or talents, or may have little experience and very little talents. They have little experience and very little talents, but how many of you know that no talent is huge talent in the hands of an awesome God? Amen. There might be right now, little minnows stuck in doubt, caught in despair in the backwater of false teaching, ready to be raccoon food bad doctrine. You and I have the responsibility and the privilege of showing them the path to Jesus, showing them the path to truth. That's why we can't be discouraged when you look around the world today and see all the crazy, and in our country. See all the crazy. You can't be discouraged Because maybe you wonder how can this be turned into righteousness? How is this going to work? You see what they're doing, pastor. You see what's happening. How can this do? How can they be one for Christ? God may have someone that doesn't even walk with him yet, maybe a relative of yours who has rejected Christ over and over. Maybe someone in service today. Maybe someone in service today, someone that doesn't know him yet, someone who hasn't been endued with power from on high, someone who doesn't have sound doctrine, to throw some seeds, at the very least to sow some seeds, to provide some encouragement, to get our watering can of the word. You know, give it a little drink, amen. Give that plant a little drink. Give that person a little sip of the word.
Speaker 3:A couple of weeks ago we talked about Samuel, great prophet, and how he had to go and tell the reigning king of Israel, king Saul, that he was done, that he was through. I don't envy Samuel, but God said I want you to go and tell him that I'm through with him. This is the end. He was corrupted, saul was no longer serving the Lord and God tells him, through Samuel, that he's being replaced as king of Israel. And can't you hear King Saul saying with who? And the Lord said the Lord tells him. You tell him.
Speaker 3:I've got this freckle-faced little boy in Bethlehem. Hallelujah, he's serving me, he's hearing my voice. He's hearing my voice. He's hearing my word. He's only 14 years old. He's the son of Jesse Glory. Hallelujah. His name is David and I have chosen him to lead Israel. I'm not sure how Saul would have taken that, but don't quit. Don't ever give up.
Speaker 3:When things look the darkest, god will raise someone out of a little church, out of no church, out of a big church. He'll raise up, he'll anoint someone, fill them with the Holy Ghost and raise up a new Elijah, a new Moses, a new Paul, a new John. Fill that man or woman with the Holy Spirit and send them out, send them out, send them out. Send them out, as I I'm not going to say that. Let me ask a question. It's a really harsh question. Don't raise your hand, don't say yeah or no, but just take it into your spirit. Is our life what we're doing for the Lord, how we walk where our Christian path is today? Is our life worth Jesus dying for? Is our life worth Jesus dying for? Are we seeking the lost? Are we reaching the wounded, the broken? Are we witnessing to the scattered?
Speaker 3:I spoke with a brother some years ago and some of you might know him Gene Miller. Gene Miller was pastor of United Family Ministries. It's out on the bypass now, outside out toward Donnas, and that used to be the Seventh-day Adventist Church but it's now United Family Ministries. It's now run by his daughter and son-in-law. Gene's gone on to be with the Lord, but for a long period of time Gene would meet for church service in Babe's Cafe in Lower Borough in Lower Borough, and he was telling me how not only his parishioners but others made fun of him meeting in a restaurant that they met amongst the booths and the owner was so kind to allow them to meet in his restaurant for Sunday mornings, to allow them to meet in his restaurant for Sunday mornings, and not only did his own parishioners make fun of it, but people from outside. Yeah, you have a church. Yeah, you're Pentecostal holiness. Yeah, meet in a diner.
Speaker 3:And one Sunday a man came in looking to read the paper and get a cup of coffee and, finding that there was a church service going on, he respectfully tried to leave. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were holding church in here. And Gene went over to him and said you drink your coffee and read your paper, we're fine, we're good. No, please stay. And he did. And about halfway through the worship service the man broke down in tears Through his paper on the floor. He told Brother Gene that he had just lost his wife and something supernatural was happening here that was giving him peace and understanding about what happened, and he gave his heart to the Lord. A man looking for coffee and a paper and here's my point Gene Miller and United Family Ministries was exactly where the Holy Ghost wanted them Exactly.
Speaker 3:Gather and return, retrieve and restore that's what he's after. Whoever darkness has scattered, bring them back. Let me just close with this prayer. The Bible says our footsteps are ordered by the Lord. You want? Ordered means fashioned, or foot, or fitted, are every step fashioned by the ancient of days. How powerful is that? Every step fitted into his plan, every decision we make today, yesterday, tomorrow, has been prepared for us. It's already been put there. Make the right decision, pastor. Make the right decision. Put there, make the right decision, pastor. Make the right decision, sister, make the right decision, brother, I've already given it to you. God loves you so much, he cares so much. If we allow him, he will change your life. He'll fit your steps to his purpose. It's not something we have to fix. He'll fit your steps to his purpose.
Speaker 3:God is moving today to rebuild us, to resurrect us, to restore us, to redeem us, to reboot us. That's what he's doing Through the revelation of the word. Look by Ramah, noah built a boat to redeem. By revelation, daniel used a lion as a pillow. Right by revelation, david killed the giant. By rhema, Jesus defeated the devil in his own game. Every man a liar. God's word is true.
Speaker 3:Father, we make a joyful noise to you this morning, father. We make a joyful noise to you this morning. Unto you, lord, we seek you with gladness. We come before you today with joy. We know you. We know you. You are God, we are your people, we are the sheep of your pasture. We have entered your gates with thanksgiving this morning, and with praise. We bless your name. Your mercy is everlasting. Your truth endures every generation. Moses called you by name and you answered. Abraham called you by name. You answered. Samuel called. You did what you said you would do. And we cry out to you this morning Lord, order our steps. Let no iniquity have dominion. Deliver us, o Lord, from oppression of man. Keep us, o Lord, in the hollow of your hands today and forevermore. Keep us, lord, on your path of safety. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Please be seated.
